Cars you just don't see anymore
Discussion
Today, on my travels into work I saw an E21 BMW 316. Now back a long time ago, my Dad had one of these, and at the time there were obviously quite a few of these on the roads. Now they are what i'd call almost extinct, you just don't see them.
So put simply, what cars do you miss seeing around. A car very close to my heart is the Renault 5 GT Turbo and I haven't seen one on the road in about two years
Over to you.
ETA I Also saw a lovely E30 M3 in Frimley last Friday night, although I didn't feel this needed mentioning as they've never been a common sight! If it is anyone on here, you have a gorgeous car.

Probably should have made the title clearer, rather than the actual point being lost in the OP.
What cars do you miss, I realise there are plenty of cars not on the road anymore. Does anyone actually miss Lada Rivas?.....
haha, yeh i get you, didnt read the op properly, and i doubt anyone misses tem, unless they have a screw loose...What cars do you miss, I realise there are plenty of cars not on the road anymore. Does anyone actually miss Lada Rivas?.....
t.I dont miss them, but I've not seen a Nova for ages. Presumably Baz has crashed them all and moved on to later Corsas.
One thing that keeps startling me is when I think "where have all the "old" daily driven cars gone? all I see on the road is new or nearly new cars". Then I look at passing registration plates and see that there are plenty of 10-15 year old cars around, its just because cars have become such homogenously styled in the last decade or so that its hard to tell them out from their newer counterparts... especially when I keep expecting to see late 80's/early 90's escorts/cavaliers etc that were the old but still daily driven cars as I was growing up.
I guess its a product of me getting old, in the same way that I keep having to correct myself that the 90s were 20 years ago not 10, etc

I've often thought about this..
I've been alive long enough now to see start seeing entirely new generations of cars.
Everything I grew up with has pretty much gone.
When I look around the streets theses days all I see is "new cars" although actually a lot of them can be up to 10 years old now!
